Or earth F if you put it on a tier list

Honestly I don't get the hype about the US presidency, like sure, it was kinda shocking at first how Trump won, but after that I accepted it. I'd rather listen to other issues than the same thing over and over again.

I also find it wierd that many of the fellow Australians around me know more about American politics than Australian politics, likely just because our media covers it to no effing end, sure, do one news story, but not a fucken bajillion.

Shutdown aside, I find it funny how discord users start with genuine sad emojis, and then POW, eggplant emoji!

The non-stop Lemmy grind is one hell of a drug huh

I agree with the premise of this statement, although this was about someone saying "religion of peace" to mock the Muslims who say it, I don't believe that's bigotry, it's just irony. Also, who knows, maybe Catholics or some other religion commit more of these acts, but it's difficult to know through the news alone, and religion of peace is already a Muslim stereotype, fully justified or not.

For the record though, I also follow your stance about not being nice to bigots, unjustified hate should only stay in the mind, but that possibly has the risk of radicalising someone further.

No more mister-nice-guy I see

I haven't actually, I'll check it out and maybe add an edit to this comment. I have actually tried two others though, I found then via alternativeto:

• ayesoul.com
• morphic.sh

Both of these are pretty great candidates, they both have quality content formats and are somewhat more comfortable to use than perplexity in their unique ways, mainly due to minimalism. A drawback of both are that they are slower to answer but not excruciatingly slow.

I just tried morphic.sh and ayesoul.com and both are solid alternatives I must say, although as I said, I just tried it so I'll see how it goes, I'll probably add an edit to this comment once I get acquainted with both.

Of course the one fucking service that's actually useful for me acts like this... Ig I gotta find an alternative now...

I'd just get two toothpicks and make a seesaw to press it, although I pretty much never turn off my computers so I still wouldn't mind too much
